In 1883, the 20 metre 37 tonne timber ketch, the Kermandie, was built at Huon River, Tasmania. 

She disappeared between Westernport and Melbourne during severe storms in December 1892, carrying 50 tonnes of granite from the quarry at Cape Woolamai to Melbourne.

The wreck of the Coramba was discovered off Phillip Island while a research group was searching for the wreck of the Kermandie.
